It is the inheritance and development of the spiritual treasure of the past, and it is a new masterpiece that incorporates the painstaking efforts of hundreds of millions of people.
In 776 BC, the Greeks stipulated that a sports meeting should be held in Olympia every four years. During the sports meeting, all Greek athletes and nearby citizens gathered in Olympia, a scenic town in southern Greece.
In 776 BC, the first Olympic Games was held here, and Dorian Klose won the 192.27 meter sprint. He became the first winner of the first event in the International Olympic Games. Later, the scale of the ancient Greek Games gradually expanded and became a grand event to show the national spirit. The winner of the competition can get a wreath of laurel, wild olive and palm. From 776 BC to 394 AD, after 1 170 years, * * * held the 293rd ancient Olympic Games. It was banned by the Roman emperor in 394 AD.
1875 ~ 188 1 year, Kutius in Germany excavated cultural relics in Olympic sites, which aroused the interest of the whole world. To this end, the French educator Pierre? De? Coubertin believes that restoring the tradition of the ancient Greek Olympic Games is of great significance to promoting the development of international sports. Under his advocacy and active running, the first international sports conference was held in Paris in June 1894. The International Sports Conference decided to call the world-wide comprehensive games the Olympic Games. The first modern Olympic Games was held in Athens, Greece, on April 1896, and it was held in every member country in turn every four years. By 1992, 25 Olympic Games have been held.
The ancient Olympic Games were basically held every four years, and this cycle was called "Olympiad". According to this cycle, from 776 BC to 394 AD, * * * should be held for 293 sessions; But in fact the number of meetings is much less. However, according to the ancient Olympic Games, one Olympic Games is one, whether it is held or not.
In the early days of the ancient Olympic Games, there were not many events, so the first 22 sessions only lasted for one day. Later, with the increase of incidents, it was extended to two days. From the 37th session, the juvenile competition was added, and the time was extended to 5 days. The first day is the opening ceremony, where sacrifices and oaths are held, the second, third and fourth days are the specific contents of the competition, and the fifth day is the closing ceremony, where prizes are awarded and sacrificial activities are held.
At present, the Olympic Games include track and field, swimming (including diving, water polo and synchronized swimming), shooting, weightlifting, cycling, archery, basketball, volleyball, football, handball, hockey, gymnastics (including rhythmic gymnastics), fencing, international wrestling (freestyle and classical), boxing, judo, rowing and kayaking.
The origin of the ancient Olympic Games
On the peninsula, on the alfons River, at the foot of Crophius Mountain, it belongs to the Olympia village in Ilya area, and is considered as the place where the gods live together. Therefore, the temple of Zeus was built here, and its vicinity was called Altz. At that time, every city-state came here in July and August to worship Zeus. In addition to offering sacrifices and holding ceremonies, competitive sports are also listed as activities of offering sacrifices to gods. The leap year, which is held every four years, expanded the sacrificial ceremony and later formed a system, which is the origin of the Olympic Games held every four years. The four-year cycle of the ancient Olympic Games was called "Olympiad".
There are many myths and legends about the origin of the ancient Olympic Games. One of the most popular myths and legends is that Polosse, the son of Poseidon, defeated Oenomais, the king, in a racing car to marry Princess Hippodamia and won the princess and the throne. In order to celebrate the victory and thank the gods for their protection, Olympia held a competition.
Of course, the myth well is not history. In fact, the appearance of the ancient Olympic Games in ancient Greece is an objective historical phenomenon cast by geographical environment, economic life style, cultural customs, religious beliefs, values, aesthetics and other historical and cultural factors. Most historians believe that since 776 BC, competitive performances have appeared in the form of competitions, so people usually regard this as the beginning of the ancient Olympic Games.
The modern Olympic movement rose in the capitalist industrial age in Europe, but its origin can be traced back to the Olympic Games in ancient Greece. The ancient Olympic Games was held every four years. From the first recorded Olympic Games in 776 BC to 393 AD, * * * held 293 sessions, which lasted165,438+069, and experienced several classes of emergence, development and decline.
First of all, the natural environment of ancient Greece and the formation of competitive sports customs.
The superior geographical location made ancient Greece a meeting point of various cultures, accelerated the process of social development, made outstanding contributions to mankind in various fields such as science, culture, art and sports, and became the birthplace of western civilization. Competitive sports is an important part of Greek life.
Second, the events of the early Olympic Games also reflected the development relationship between the war and the ancient Olympic Games. In the 500 years since 776 AD, the Olympic events have gradually expanded, from a single competition to wrestling, mixed martial arts, boxing, four-horse chariots, horse racing, wrestling, horse racing and pentathlon. Most of these events are related to military skills, which reflects the role of war in promoting the development of Olympic events. Although the events of the ancient Olympic Games had obvious military brand, the Olympic Games itself was a grand event of the whole Greek nation. Although there are frequent conflicts between the city-states, they are also closely related. Especially since the 8th century BC, with the rise of the ancient Greek colonial movement, a Greek civilization circle has been formed in the Mediterranean region.
Third, the religious customs of ancient Greece and the formation of the Olympic model.
The ancient Olympic Games is a pan-Greek religious celebration, which has the following three characteristics: first, the worship of the gods of Olympus; Second, there is a unique sacrificial system; Third, there are rich religious myths and legends.
Fourth, the rise and fall of the ancient Olympic Games.
It can be roughly divided into three stages. The first stage (8th century BC-6th century BC) developed into a grand event attended by Greek city-states. The second stage (6th century BC-4th century BC) was the heyday of slavery in ancient Greek city-states, and the ancient Olympic Games reached its peak. In the third stage (4th century BC-4th century AD), ancient Greece was conquered by Macedonia and the Roman Empire, and the ancient Olympic Games entered a period of decline.
Second, the motivation of the Olympic movement:
In order to meet the needs of international sports development,/kloc-in the second half of the 9th century, with the development of international political and economic situation, modern sports showed two obvious development trends. One is the rapid development of competitive sports, and the other is the internationalization trend of sports. 188 1 year, the first international individual sports organization, the International Gymnastics Federation, was established. With the expansion of international sports exchanges, it has become an urgent need of the times to establish a comprehensive stage for international sports exchanges and an international sports organization that coordinates the activities of individual organizations and plays a management role.
Finally, at the suggestion of Coubertin 1893, the French Federation of Athletics Associations held an international sports conference. Discuss the revival of the Olympic Games.
1894 the international sports conference was grandly opened at the Sorbonne theological seminary in Paris. And adopted an important document-the resolution on "Resuming the Olympic Games". As the first Olympic Games will be held in Athens, Greece, the birthplace of the ancient Olympic Games from 65438 to 0896, Kailas VI of Greece will be the first president and Coubertin will be the secretary-general. Congress stipulates which country's big cities hold the Olympic Games every four years.
Three. Comparison of Main Features between Modern Olympic Games and Ancient Olympic Games
1. The name "Olympic Games" has already been used.
2. Inherited the tradition of "Olympia" with a cycle every four years.
3. Learn from and develop some ceremonies of the ancient Olympic Games.
4. Absorbed and developed the traditional ideas of ancient Olympic Games.
China Olympic spirit is rich in connotation. The first is the deepest and most basic patriotism. 1932, with the support of patriotic general Zhang Xueliang, Liu Changchun drifted alone at sea for 2 1 day and arrived in Los Angeles. In the men's 100 meter preliminaries, exhausted Liu Changchun was unfortunately eliminated. 1936 Berlin Olympic Games, China athletes who entered the pole vault finals could not afford to buy poles for the competition. 1948 the China delegation is the only one who can't afford to live in the Olympic village. This terrible page has been turned by us. 1979, China resumed its legal seat in the International Olympic Committee. 1On July 29th, 984, a gunshot from Xu Haifeng achieved the breakthrough of zero gold medal in China Olympic Games. It is in this historical background that people's patriotism and dream of becoming a strong country are so inseparable from sports. Patriotism has made great achievements. Finally, China and Beijing were chosen as the host cities of the 2008 Olympic Games, which is also the highest reward for the people of China who love their motherland. College students, a group of athletes who are enthusiastic about serving the country, are the best interpretation of patriotism.
China Olympic spirit is also tenacious struggle and selfless dedication. We can't forget that the spirit of women's volleyball gave people great encouragement in the 1980s. How can we forget that the China delegation was the top three in the gold medal list of the 2004 Olympic Games? The five-star red flag was raised again and again, and the national anthem was played again and again. Our athletes shed a lot of sweat for this moment. Behind them are countless coaches, sparring partners, doctors, chefs and so on. Medals and flowers belong to athletes who win glory for their country, and also to many unsung heroes. People's abilities are different, so is the social division of labor. As long as they are conscientious in their posts, help each other and unite as one, they are worthy of the nation. College students study hard on their own campuses, revealing this Olympic spirit all the time: perseverance, hard work, selfless dedication, and courageously advancing on the road of serving the country. China Olympic spirit is the spirit of facing the world and learning from others. After Beijing failed to bid for the Olympic Games in 2000, it put forward the slogan of "unswervingly going to the world". From then on, from the strict and effective management system to the improvement of competitive tactics in various sports, from the overall steps of this Olympic bid to the construction of many modern venues at present, it is because we adhere to the open policy and actively absorb the world's advanced experience. And our college students, singing the slogan of going abroad, are working hard for the rejuvenation of the motherland. Facts have proved that only a nation that is good at learning and using information technology is a nation full of vitality and great hope.
